Reconditioning
IBC totes.
Have totes that are sound but dirty or leaking at the valve? Tell us what you have and a partner supplier in our network says whether they can recondition them, or quotes reconditioned units instead.
What reconditioning can involve
Typical steps.
Each partner supplier sets its own process. Ask which of these they include.
- Draining, washing and drying the bottle
- Inspecting the bottle and cage for damage
- Replacing valves, gaskets and lids
- Fitting a new bottle in a sound cage (rebottling)
- Recording previous contents and the work done
What to include
Details for your request.
- Number of totes and their size
- What they held before
- Condition and any known problems (leaking valve, bent cage)
- Whether you want the same totes back or are open to an exchange for reconditioned units
- Pickup and return location
Frequently asked
Questions about reconditioning
Can every tote be reconditioned?
No. Previous contents, bottle damage and cage condition can make reconditioning impractical. The partner supplier decides after reviewing what you describe.
Will reconditioning make a tote food-grade?
Cleaning alone doesn’t make a tote suitable for food; previous contents matter too. IBC Second Life doesn’t certify totes, so ask the partner supplier for documentation.
How is reconditioning priced?
By quote from the partner supplier, based on the number of totes, their condition and freight.
